Former Willing Willie dancer April ‘Congratulations’ Gustilo came to defend her former boss Willie Revillame from the criticisms being thrown against him.
It can be recalled that Revillame was facing criticisms on social media and from his colleagues due to his statements while defending his AllTV show ‘Wowowin’.
Revillame received support from Gustilo and urged the television host to ignore his critics.
“Siguro huwag na lang niyang pansinin yung mga naninira sa kanya kasi hindi worth it yung mga ganyang eksena. Ipagpatuloy na lang niya ang pagtulong sa mga tao,” Gustilo said.
Gustilo also said that she was grateful to Revillame for giving her a job as a dancer.
The former dancer became popular on national television because of her unique greeting to the show’s winners and shouting ‘congratulations’ to them.
“Grateful ako kay Kuya Wil kasi kinuha niya ako as one of the dancers. Nagresign ako sa kanya ng 2010. Tapos aalis then bumabalik ako. Kinukuha pa rin niya ako kapag naisip kong bumalik sa show,” she said.
She also urged Revillame to take care of his health so he could help more people.
Gustilo then shared their experience working with Revillame as their boss.
The former dancer also witnessed the generosity of the television host even behind the camera.
“Napaka-strict niya as a boss when it comes to work. Pero thankful kami na naging ganun kasi natuto kaming pahalagahan ang mga trabaho namin at paano maging professional sa work. He’s also generous,” she said.
“Minsan kapag may nakikita siya sa streets na nakaka-awa, bumababa talaga siya o kaya naman pinapa-abot niya sa staff niya. Binibigyan niya ng pera or konting tulong. May ganung eksena si Kuya.” she added.
